In this study, we monitored changes in the EV-miRNA profile between early and late passage of human CHO-MSCs. First, senescence of CHO-MSCs was induced by serial passaging and confirmed by morphological changes, shortened telomeres and changes in the expression of selected genes. The expression of MSCs-specific surface markers CD73, CD90, CD105 did not change with increasing passages. Next, EVs and their miRNA profiles were compared between early vs late passage cells. Number of EVs and their size were not significantly changed. Seven of the top 10 most expressed EV-miRNAs were common to both early and late passages. A differential expression study between early and late passages identified 37 significantly differentially expressed EV-miRNAs, out of which 23 were found to be associated with pathways of cellular senescence based on KEGG pathway analysis. A set of 9 miRNAs were identified as the most frequently associated with senescence and/or with the most altered expression between early and late passages, out of which miR-145-5p, miR-335-5p and miR-199b-3p were the most significant downregulated miRNAs in late passages.

Injections were performed two days after infarction and the arrhythmogenic inducibility experiment was performed the next day. Only 35% of the MI + MSCs group developed VAs, while the one in the MIV group was 65%.

However, MSCs increased connexin 43 content in the remote area, even above the levels found in the sham group. MSCs prevented the increase of IL-1β in the different areas of the myocardium. There was higher carbonylation and content of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE, a marker of lipoperoxidation) in the myocardium of infarcted rats, but MSCs attenuated the increase of 4-HNE in the infarcted area. In conclusion, MSCs have a protective effect against the development of arrhythmias, but do not imply a significant benefit for animals that have developed VAs.
